Bluetooth Battery Meter APK

Version 1.15: Added Voyager 5200 device name.

** If using a BackBeat FIT, it must be running at least firmware version "D." Use Plantronics's BackBeat FIT Updater app to update yours. **

** We have received reports that there are bugs in the Bluetooth implementations on the Samsung Galaxy S4 (Android 4.2.2) and HTC One M7 (Android 4.4.2) that prevent them from working with the Bluetooth Battery Meter. (Note: the S4 running 4.4.2 and HTC One M8 running 4.4.2 apparently work perfectly.) **

You won't have to wonder if your Plantronics headset has enough power left to make it through the call you're on! Now you can see your headset's charge level at a glance.

This is a battery meter for Plantronics Bluetooth headsets. It runs in the background and displays the headset charge level in the status bar.

Pull down on the status bar to see remaining talk time in hours and minutes - and more.

We have received reports that bugs in the Bluetooth implementations of these phones prevent them from working with the Bluetooth Battery Meter:

* Meizu Mx5 running Android 5.0.1
* Samsung Galaxy S4 running Android 4.2.2 (note: 4.4.2 appears to work correctly)
* HTC One M7 running Android 4.4.2 (note: the HTC One M8/4.4.2 works perfectly)

* Your BackBeat FIT must be running firmware version D, E, or F. The version after F, version 7.03, breaks the battery meter functionality in the headset! Use Plantronics's free BackBeat FIT Updater app to check your firmware version and update it -- but not to 7.03! -- if necessary.

* An apparent bug in the Voyager Edge and Voyager Legend/Legend CS/Legend UC headsets prevents them from sending its battery level to tablets (e.g. Nexus 7). We have notified Plantronics of this problem.

* If you have a Voyager PRO UC, you must first update its firmware at http://www.plantronics.com/us/support/myheadset/updater/.

* The Bluetooth Battery Meter does not support the M100 ("1xxPlantronics"), M50, M20, Discovery 925, Discovery 975, Voyager PRO+, or older headsets. These headsets do not include the battery meter feature for Android devices.

* This app will not work on Android 4.2/4.2.1-equipped devices due to a bug in the Bluetooth implementation of these Android versions. The bug is fixed in Android 4.2.2, meaning this app will work on devices running Android 4.2.2 and subsequent releases - except the Samsung Galaxy S4, apparently.

* This app won't work on devices that lack a full Bluetooth implementation. This includes a few older tablets, among them the Acer Iconia A100, Toshiba Thrive, and possibly others.

* If you have a Plantronics headset not listed above, try it immediately after you install the app. If the app doesn't show your headset's battery level, the Play Store gives you 48 hours to remove the app and receive an immediate refund.

Instructions:

Launch the app once after installing it. After that, it will receive battery information from your headset in the background and display it in the phone/tablet status bar.
